Is there some kind of mechanic to kill the zombies without getting damaged? I died after killing 2 zombies every time. Great game!
Well done for your first LD game.
I didn't see much use for the flashlight however. I just ran around with the knife and stabbed at everything. Worked out pretty well. It would be cool if you could scare the zombies away with your flashlight or something like that.
Had a little scare with the first zombie jumping out from the dark behind a crate. The other attacks were less scary taken that they all spawned in from the same position (and eventually killed me!)
Next I tried the obvious tactic for a cowardly chap as myself: sitting in a corner knive out. The Zombies clearly found my superior stance disturbing as they started moving back and forth wildly barely attacking at all. Their path finding skills must have rotted away.
Some objectives to complete before the time runs out would force the player to make a move. Not a big problem really. Good work!
